Is it normal to have five or six bowel movements a day?

Five or six times a day is not normal. A normal stool should be banana-shaped 1-2 times a day or once every 2 days. If the stool is five or six times a day, watery or unformed, it is necessary to know whether there are other accompanying symptoms. In this case, it is recommended to improve the gastroscopy, blood sugar, liver and kidney function, thyroid function and other tests to understand whether there is a qualitative lesion, and then to treat the cause. If there is no organic lesion, it may also be a functional disorder of intestinal function, and medication can be given for symptomatic treatment. Patients also need to apply appropriate neurological medications to treat the symptoms and advise patients to maintain emotional stability.
